Restoration of 3940R

That crossover pipe arrangement between the carbs and engine head is not original. Might still work for all I know.

The paint looks original to me. Time for a respray!

VIN is written on door…I will have to look at mine closer …

[Kendo]

Yes, the VIN on my TCS was written on the top “shelf” under the window on both doors. That’s how I know that both my doors are original, even though the driver door was extensively damaged and repaired by a PO. Protip (actually, amateur…) scrape the paint out of the VIN casting so paint doesn’t “erase” it.

Hi Guys,

Not had much time to work on the car lately, but have the seats stripped for blasting now. Hopefully the metal is not too thin anywhere to stand up to it.

What media are you having them blasted with? Not sure mine would withstand being blasted by anything - got to get the bolts undone yet to get them out but there's a lot of rust flakes in the seat pan!

Nothing too serious there.  Bead blasting (not sand...too aggressive...), some repairs where necessary...POR15 coating.  You'll be good to go.  I've seen worse.
